Sample text
By the end of the century farmers had already learnt to adapt sugar beet growing to prevent excessive damage from this soil pest by widening rotations. Other pests and diseases, which went unrecognized in the early years of the beet sugar industry, became an increasing threat as beet production intensified. The most important of these were Cercospora leaf spot and some virus diseases such as curly top, virus yellows, and recently, rhizomania. They still present a threat to crop yields, but the use of pesticides and the development of diseaseresistant varieties have helped to keep them, at least partially, under control.
Koppy’s factory at Krayn offered striking proof to Achard that a courageous farmer with an interest in processing techniques could successfully make use of his invention, not only for the profit of the farmer himself, but also to the advantage of the national economy. In 1809, Achard published his main work on growing and processing beet for sugar production: Die europäische Zuckerfabrikation aus Runkelrüben (Achard, 1809). In this comprehensive book he assimilated all of his and Koppy’s experiences in selecting, cultivating and processing beet for sugar production and making the best use of the by-products.
13 The first precision-drill for sowing sugar beet by placing single seeds into the ground, a three-row machine, constructed by Horsky in 1834 (Horsky, 1851). invented for thinning (‘gapping’) the crop; these were mainly types of hoes used perpendicularly to the rows, again to obviate the need to chop-out (MAF, 1931). The next development was mechanically processed beet seed (precision seed), produced by splitting and rubbing natural multigerm seed. This procedure was developed in Halle, Germany, shortly before World War II (Knolle, 1940).
